Last week

Trying to catch up on some of our adventures from last week before I talk about this weekend. So here we go!

Last Sunday we met Ryan & Carol for a picnic at the Airport Observation Park. Eli & Ryan had a great time running around, playing in the sand and watching airplanes land / take off.

Digging for pirate treasure - Carol & I started a game where we hid items in the sand with an "X" marks the spot for our little pirates to find.

Fun picnic

Running on the "runway"

Also lots of playing on the climbing spider.

This is also a fun game we've started. In the mornings, we "make" Eli & Cole. Eli loves to lay the clothes out and pretend it's a Flat Eli and Flat Cole.

Thursday night was a big night after school. We went to Eli's friend Evan's 4th birthday party. All of Eli's buddies from school were there and it was total madness. Imagine a large room of wild and crazy boys running around like they've been inside all day bored (however we know they got to play outside, they just have so much energy!). They all had a great time playing and we also had pizza / cake.

Climbing up - these boys were rough, body checking each other on the way up

Cole was really happy swinging.

What a crew!

Pizza time! Cole was so happy to be partying it up with the big boys.

The tire swing was a BIG attraction.

The boys loaded it with as many as they could fit and laughed so hard.

I think this was that night. Eli decided to line up all the trucks and wheeled vehicles downstairs. And this isn't all! We have many more upstairs!
